Grandpa Gu was both moved and surprised.

"Child, are you really willing to let Jiangjiang continue to associate with us in the future?"

Xie Mingzhu smiled gently.

"Of course, you are the one who raised Jiangjiang, and you are the benefactor of me and my child."

"I also want to thank you. It is because you adopted Jiangjiang that he had someone to shelter him from the wind and rain when he needed help the most, allowing him to grow up healthily and have a happy childhood."

"Without you, Jiangjiang would have continued walking in the rain all day, all alone, and who knows what might have happened to her."

“We, mother and son, have no way to repay such kindness. You can see Jiangjiang anytime you wish.”

Xie Mingzhu really didn't know how to express her gratitude, so she was about to bow to Old Master Gu.

Grandpa Gu was startled and quickly reached out to help him.

"Young lady, you don't need to be so polite. I understand your feelings."

At this point, the last bit of worry in Old Master Gu's heart completely disappeared.

He could tell that the girl was a kind, gentle, and grateful person.

She is very sincere and insightful.

There's really nothing to criticize about a girl like that being Jiang Jiang's mother.

He had always dreamed of finding a girl like this for Gu Yanjun to date, and then having them adopt Jiangjiang.

It's a pity that Gu Yanjun is such a disappointment!

Thinking of this, Old Master Gu couldn't help but feel regret.

Gu Yanjun, that brat, lives in the same compound as her, so why isn't he so lucky and doesn't fall for her?

Otherwise, if the two of them could become a couple, he could continue to openly look at Jiang Jiang every day!

Grandpa Gu really wanted to rush over and beat up that good-for-nothing Gu Yanjun.

Of course, he couldn't show it in front of Xie Mingzhu.

Grandpa Gu could only sigh repeatedly, praising Xie Mingzhu as a good girl while inwardly cursing his own grandson as a good-for-nothing fool.

Jiang Jiang had calmed down, but Grandpa Gu was still sighing to himself.

Jiang Jiang mumbled something to Xie Mingzhu, then ran over with her short legs and grabbed Old Master Gu's clothes, shaking them.

"grandfather?"

After calling out countless times, Grandpa Gu finally snapped out of his daze, his expression changing to a smile as he gently knelt down and patted Jiang Jiang's head.

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

Jiang Jiang had a smiling face upturned.

"Grandpa, Mom said she'll cook something delicious for us tonight. Can you come eat with us?"

Grandpa Gu hesitated for a moment, looked at Xie Mingzhu and then at Jiang Jiang, and rubbed his hands together.

"Isn't this a bit inconvenient?"

Jiang Jiang quickly waved his hand.

"No problem, no problem! Grandpa is Jiangjiang's family, and Mom is Jiangjiang's family too, so of course Grandpa can eat with us!"

Xie Mingzhu smiled and said, "The child is right. We're all family, so please don't stand on ceremony."

"Logically, I should have prepared a proper thank-you dinner to express my gratitude, but due to the short notice, I didn't have time to prepare much..."

Grandpa Gu immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh, Xiao Xie, you're too kind. I'll be troubling you then."

"No wonder Jiangjiang is such a smart and lovable child, it seems she inherited it from you."

"You're too kind."

Xie Mingzhu held Jiang Jiang's left hand, while Grandpa Gu held Jiang Jiang's right hand. Jiang Jiang skipped and hopped between the two of them, like a happy little sparrow, and found the new Mingzhu's house with ease.

Previously, because of her good relationship with Yangyang and Yueyue, Jiangjiang was somewhat reserved in the Xie family and cautiously envied them.

Now that this place has become her home, Jiang Jiang has become much more relaxed. She dashed into the yard and jumped around, inviting Grandpa Gu to come in and sit down.

Seeing that her son was not shy at all and was so relaxed at home, Xie Mingzhu felt much more at ease.

She had initially worried that her child wouldn't be able to adapt.

Xie Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Old Master Gu.

"Sir, you can take a look around first, I'll go make some tea."

"Okay! Good."

Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded, having only made a polite appearance in the living room.

But the more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

Especially when my gaze falls on the photos displayed in the living room...

When Xie Mingzhu brought out the tea and snacks, she saw Old Master Gu frowning slightly, looking at her with a look of wonder.

"Hey, isn't this Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying's house?"

Xie Mingzhu was also slightly taken aback.

"Yes, you know my brother and sister-in-law?"

Grandpa Gu's eyes widened slightly.

"You mean Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying are your younger brother and sister-in-law?"

Previously, he disliked that Gu Yanjun was too old to have a girlfriend, so he was in a hurry to find Gu Yanjun a blind date. He had carefully selected a very outstanding girl.

He even called Gu Yanjun home specifically to tell him how good the girl's family background and character were, and asked him to meet her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanjun rejected him, saying that he already had someone he liked.

Grandpa Gu naturally didn't believe it, but Gu Yanjun was stubborn and had a bad temper. No matter what Grandpa Gu said, he wouldn't listen and refused to go on a blind date with her.

In the end, the matter could only be dropped.

Before coming here, Grandpa Gu felt angry just thinking about these things.

But now...

The old man almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The girl he chose back then, who was excellent in every way, was Xie Mingzhu!

It's quite a coincidence that Jiang Jiang's mother was the blind date he found for Gu Yanjun.

Old Master Gu felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Now that's great, it makes sense that brat was unwilling to be Jiang Jiang's father before.

Now that such an outstanding girl is Jiang Jiang's biological mother! Even if Gu Yanjun regrets it, it's too late!

Moreover, with such an outstanding and beautiful girl constantly in front of him, he didn't believe that Gu Yanjun could remain completely unmoved.

Hmph, it's no use if he's interested; the girl might not even be interested in him.

He's so anxious!

Grandpa Gu chuckled, his mustache trembling with laughter.

Jiang Jiang blinked, leaned closer, and tilted her little head to stare at Grandpa Gu.

"Grandpa, what are you laughing at?"

Grandpa Gu patted Jiang Jiang's little head.

"Nothing, I just thought of a lousy guy. There's bound to be some good show to watch. Grandpa's gloating... no, I'm happy."
